For your information, cinematographer turned director Saravanan directed the Silambattam along with actor Simbu, which had a lukewarm response at the box office and from the critics back in the year of 2008. The director is now making a comeback of sorts with his next movie, which is yet to be titled. The gossip mills tell the media that the director has taken a college based script in his hand and has casted actor Gautham Karthick to give a fresh appeal to the youth subject.

The sources close to the director reveal that director Saravanan searched for another young face, but a popular face in the Tamil cinema industry. Actress Lakshmi Menon became an easy choice for him, as she has already starred in hit movies and is quite popular now among the Tamil cinema audiences.
Even the Kumki actress too confirmed her role in the project. The actress told the media that is a part of the director Saravanan’s next movie, which is yet to be titled. She added that she is playing the female lead role opposite actor Gautham Karthick and is quite excited about her role. When asked about her role, the actress declined to reveal the details of the role.

With this new project, Lakshmi Menon has become one of the busiest actresses in Kollywood town, as she is already committed to movies like Kutti Puli, Manja Pai and a yet to be titled Vishal – Suseenthiran project.
